\t\t\"Jake<\/p>\n

Jake Gyllenhaal<\/p>\n

Before he was cast in Spider-Man: Far From Home, Jake Gyllenhaal<\/a> was in the running to replace Tobey as the web-slinging hero after he suffered an injury and was briefly fired. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many roles in my career where I was up against another actor, or something happened that possibly could\u2019ve happened but didn\u2019t happen but maybe it would have\u2026 Eventually my belief is when an actor\u2019s played a character, particularly in a movie, the character\u2019s theirs, and that\u2019s that. But yeah [Tobey] hurt himself and there was talk. And there was a slew of actors [possibly up for the part], and I was one of them,\u201d he told Yahoo Entertainment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Heath<\/p>\n

Heath Ledger<\/p>\n

Heath Ledger<\/a> was strongly rumored to be up for the role of Spider-Man before Tobey was cast in the first set of movies. He is said to have been \u201ctalked at length with for Peter,\u201d according to ScreenRant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He never spoke out about the opportunity himself but did later star as the villain in DC\u2019s The Dark Knight. <\/p>\n
